Miranda's boss has asked the impossible of her reporters: find a story worthy of the front page or lose your job.  She vows she's going to try her best.  Per her boss's suggestion, she takes a walk downtown to see what she can see.  She has no idea it will change her life forever.

David is from the planet Alura and a part of a law enforcement group called Division X.  He's a Watcher, one who guards the maximum-security prison, Faltraxa.  When a prisoner, responsible for two counts of genocide, escapes, he goes after him.  The prisoner's destination?  Earth.

When they first meet, Miranda witnesses something amazing and unexplainable, a stroke of luck.  This would sell stories.  David is mortified when he finds out she saw him using his alien powers and is terrified he'll be exposed.  He doesn't have time to deal with anything or anyone but Quasar.  Nevertheless, they end up working together.

The more time they spend together, the closer they become.  There's nothing like a hunt for a killer to a spark a little intergalactic romance.

Because of dangerously quantum apps, a pandemic of fatal neurodegenerative diseases had killed almost all the population. People are now forced to wear a quantum membrane placed directly on the brain to care for it, the topcortex. This membrane allows government to exploit them and reduce them to their work, treated as nothing more than a set of arms. Dax is in charge of the configuration of the topcortex. The army produces the implants which are its main source of income. Dax is very brave and selfless. She tries to reduce the award procedure to people to free them. If she succeeds, this can annihilate the army. Its chief Colonel Monarc needs to neutralize Dax.

Dax changes the rules of the game and will pay the ultimate sacrifice even if she unveils her secret.

A genocidal alien alliance hell-bent on the utter destruction of man-kind.

As humanity quickly realizes they're outmanned, outmatched, and outgunned they call on the young and vibrant to defend their way of life. Joseph Gray. An ordinary young man living an ordinary life finds his society crumbling apart at the seams due to an ever-intensifying plague of insurrection that seems to spread faster than it can be quelled. After joining the Marines to make a difference, to bring stability to his society, he soon realizes that he's no more than a minuscule cog in a very large machine. Harvest. A major farming colony at the edge of UNSC-controlled space goes offline. Just as Gray thinks he'll coast out his short-term service in the Corps, tragedy strikes, and a new player enters the field. Now Gray must desperately juggle the responsibilities of maintaining his relationship with the girl of his dreams, raising a future family, surviving the Covenant onslaught, and most of all: Keeping his humanity.
